“Nice work!”
“Samuel was assisted by his sister, who handled a couple of the scheduled days. Both of them were great! They had a wonderful attitude and were eager to help when I needed to make occasional small requests or adjustments to my instructions. Very responsive and prompt. I will definitely hire him (or both of them) again!”
“Torrie was amazing! Great communication and very caring with our pets. She was responsible and patient and I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs in her hands.”
“Tiffany took great care of our guinea pig and fish while we were out of town for a week during the holidays. She is an amazing petsitter and went above and beyond the care we were hoping for. Our guinea pig had last minute health issues, and Tiffany took on extra medication administration as well as wound care. She did an amazing job, and we can’t thank her enough.”
“This is my first time using this service and I’m thrilled Andréa was available. She’s a lovely person who obviously cares for animals. She did a great job and I’ve already booked her again!”
“Savannah is a dream! So professional and kind, an excellent communicator and a quick problem solver. Savannah cared for our chickens for nearly three full weeks and watched over the house and plants. She provided regular updates, was intuitive to care for the girls in the hot weather and allowed my time away to feel so much more at ease. I was so thrilled to return with thriving plants, and happy, calm chickens. Will definitely look to book with her again in the future, and recommend fully!”
“Cora has been consistently showing up for over three months and has managed to build a trusting relationship with our very shy cat. She is attentive and I highly recommend her.”
About: Hi! I’m a local Petaluma resident who would love to help out my neighbors and friends by spending time with their furry companions. I love to get outside and explore the area and I have flexibility during the week to come visit your dog or take them out, for a walk or just some extra playtime during the day while you’re away or at work. I work remote and am able to do drop ins or walks Monday-Friday. I love incorporating walks into my day and would love to bring a furry friend along and provide care and company while their owners are away. I care for others pets in the same way I care for my own dog, Freddie, with attention to their individual personalities and needs and with the care I would expect if someone was watching my dog in my home.
“Thank you Jessica! Beau was happy when I got home! Thank you for walking feeding him and spending some time while I was at work!! Your promptness and efficiency is much appreciated!”
“Jessica took great care of our elderly cat, Lulu, and went the extra mile to accommodate Lulu’s normal routine while we were away. Jessica was caring, professional, attentive, and sent us great pictures and updates of each of visit. It was comforting to know that our elderly cat was in such good hands. We will absolutely book Jessica again in the future!”
About: I worked in a doggy daycare for a few years and have been caring for pets still after that. Have had a senior dog of my own to care for. I am very flexible with time throughout the week. Have dogs to care for of my own so while wife is at work during the day will need to care for them a little bit. I will care for the clients pet in their home exactly how they would want their dog treated in their home, and will follow their instructions exactly.
“We've used Lucy so many times I've got several reviews to leave! Our dog loves her, has a great time while we're away, and isn't that thrilled to see us back to be honest! Lucy spoils her!!!”

About: I have had dogs all my life and have taken care of cats as well for a chunk at time as well. I currently have a mini Aussie and we are frequently on walks and adventures around town and Sonoma and Marin county. I am great with dogs on leash and encountering other dogs on walks. Love dogs of all ages. I own my own business as a wedding and even floral designer in Petaluma. My hours are flexible but mostly due to my she file during the spring and summer Sundays - Wednesdays are best. But ask and happy to work something out. I have a fenced in yard with a small patch of lawn, with water and toys available to play with for the dog. In our neighborhood, we typically walk around it is a good area to walk around.
“Melissa once again exceeded my expectations! She went above and beyond to make sure my baby was well cared for while I was away. She provided detailed updates with cute pictures every time. I will be going back to her as much as possible!”
“Lindsay was great with Orion as always. It’s so helpful to have her come by twice a week while I go to Pilates class. Orion loves the special attention.”
About: I've grown up with an animal in the house my entire life and have help pet sit fellow family, friends, and neighbors fur babies too. Whether is was a multiple day stay to alleviate stress and boredom to just giving the pup(s) a chance to get energy out until their human returns from a long days work I was able to step in and help provide that care. Walks, play, food and water are the basics, but taking the time to give those goof scratches behind the ear or that one spot on the belly matters. Whatever the case may be, whether a young pup getting use to life in a house or a senior pup who needs their meds on time I'm happy to give our canine friends the positive attention and care they need until their humans return. I'm currently working part-time so there will be plenty of time to visit and make sure your pet is well taken care of and given some attention. Keeping pets safe is the top priority while looking after someone's furry family member. That means double checking that the space is safe for meals and play when indoors or outdoors, doors are managed properly so no escape artiest make a break for it, and that the correct food and water is given/placed out. Being safe is caring for not only the pet but the owner as well.
About: I come from a farming background in Ireland. I absolutely adore animals, especially dogs. I don’t have my own at the moment and I really miss them. I’m a really active person and would love a doggo to go on walks with! I’m a teacher, off on summer holidays! Lots of availability as have all my days free. I’m an early riser so early morning walks / midday walks or afternoon walks all fit easily in my schedule! If the doggy can board with me - even better!! I can guarantee it’ll be very loved and well looked after! I have a 2400 sq ft house as well as a fenced back yard. Lots of space to play both indoors and outdoors! I also live really close to many walkways and green areas!
About: I sit for a young couple in Rohnert Park. They have 2 dogs a havanese and a Pomerainian mix. They love to play and get a bit roudy with my small dog Paco, but they have a ball. I have a great dog park near my home where I can take dogs. All the dogs are nice there and their owners are quite responsible. They can run around and chase balls and each other there. I do tend to pamper the pups.

“When we have to leave a pet it’s difficult enough to begin with as we love them so much. Dane has a passion for animals, specifically for dogs, but all living creatures. I can personally attest to his adoption of multiple dogs to rescue them from life death situations and he has kept each until their life’s end. You will not find a more caring, attentive loving and reliable friend for your pet.”

Mary Rebecca D.
“Mary Rebecca is good with a wide variety of animals. She has cared for my cats who are older and a bit persnickity and they like her more than most. I know she also raised one of her cats from when he was a kitten (found him at 3 days old) so she has done it all when it comes to cats at least. She has also spent time with various foster dogs we have had in and out of our house. She's always patient with their craziness and various needs - both medical and temperment wise. We even had her pet/house sit and stay at our place one Christmas. I would trust her with any of my fur-babies and highly suggest her for your Rover needs.”
